Pregnancy is an important time for your developing baby. As you look at an ultrasound of your unborn child, you might be struck with the idea of the importance of what takes place during pregnancy. Indeed, pregnancy is an important time, setting the stage for a healthy baby. If you take good care of yourself during pregnancy, your baby has a better chance of avoiding complications, and of being healthy in body and mind.

Technology today offers many opportunities to live healthier, during pregnancy and at other times. It also provides the chance to share. No matter your salary or education level, it is possible to use technology to enhance your pregnancy — and to share your joy with others. Twitter is one of the tools you can use.
